Company & technology overview
Uptech LLC is a startup that designs and develops products leveraging generative AI to deliver innovative services. The core of our approach is marrying the adaptability of AI with a deterministic quality framework — we do not hand the keys to the AI; we integrate it into a structured process. The information below describes who we are, what we build, and how we operate, to help reviewers evaluate our application to cloud startup programs.
Uptech LLC
Uptech LLC is a privately held, for-profit company that designs, builds, and operates generative-AI software products. The company holds an EIN (Employer Identification Number) and a DUNS number.
Three products in active development
| Product | Domain | Platform | Status | Target markets |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zitounix | Health & nutrition | Android (Capacitor) + web | Private testing on Google Play Console — link accessible on request | Global, multilingual (EN/FR/ES/AR, expanding) |
| Vitary by Amari | Veterinary practice | Desktop (Electron) + web | Most advanced product — multiple modules, many screens and features. Time-limited trial versions available; candidate qualification phase underway. | Algeria & Global South first, then Europe |
| Amar Studio | Development workflows | Desktop (Electron) | Development — Phase 3 closed | Global |
Multi-provider LLM architecture
Our products are designed to run on multiple AI providers with automatic fallback. This table documents which provider APIs are integrated in each product today.
Zitounix
- Alibaba Model Studio (Qwen-VL) — default vision model
- Google Gemini 2.5 Flash — fallback vision model
- Ollama — self-hosted, BYOK
- OpenRouter — aggregator for free models
Vitary
- Alibaba Qwen-Plus (DashScope) — clinical scribe & analytics
- Ollama Cloud (gpt-oss:120b) — alternative provider
- OpenAI-compatible REST endpoints — provider-agnostic adapter
Amar Studio
- Anthropic Claude (Opus/Sonnet/Haiku)
- Google Gemini (2.5 Pro/Flash)
- OpenAI GPT
- xAI Grok 3, Ollama (local), Google Antigravity
The multi-provider adapter uses OpenAI-compatible endpoints, making it straightforward to add additional providers — including AWS Bedrock and Azure OpenAI — as the products scale. API keys are held server-side; they never ship in client applications. Provider calls include entitlement metering, idempotency keys, and automatic refunds on failed calls.
Programs of interest
The following table lists the cloud startup programs Uptech LLC intends to apply to. The information is factual — each program is listed with the relevant product integrations we have today. Eligibility is determined by the program, not by Uptech.
| Program | Relevant integrations |
|---|---|
| Google Cloud for Startups | Google Gemini 2.5 Flash integrated in Zitounix vision pipeline; Amar Studio uses @google/genai SDK (Gemini 2.5 Pro/Flash, 1M context) |
| AWS Activate | Founder's prior experience as AI Data Trainer on AWS Titan (RLHF). Amazon Bedrock is a candidate provider for the OpenAI-compatible adapter. |
| Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub | Azure OpenAI is a candidate provider for the OpenAI-compatible adapter. Amar Studio integrates OpenAI GPT models. |
| Alibaba Cloud | Alibaba Model Studio (Qwen-VL) is the default vision provider in Zitounix. Qwen-Plus (DashScope) powers Vitary's clinical scribe and analytics. |
Security and data governance
Privacy, security, and data governance are architectural choices in our products — not afterthoughts.
Privacy-first architecture
- Health data stays on-device (Zitounix local-first)
- API keys never ship in mobile APKs — server-side proxy only
- Clinical AI runs server-side with rate-limited contracts (Vitary)
- Voice transcription on-device via Whisper — no audio sent to servers
Security practices
- SAST, secret detection (Gitleaks/TruffleHog), SBOM (CycloneDX) in CI
- Dependency scanning (Grype) and SAST (Semgrep) at 0 findings
- Signed installers and release artifacts
- Idempotent mutations and correlation keys for AI agent operations
Data governance
- No health history synced to cloud — only AI allowance crosses devices
- Consent-aware engagement features (opt-in reminders, SMS dispatch)
- Conservative data-safety declarations (AI provider transfer declared)
- Multi-region food-composition databases (EU, North Africa, global)
